Koen V. Hindriks

I am an Assistant Professor at the Delft University of Technology in the Department of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science. I am a member of the Man-Machine Interaction section.

My main research interests include:

Automated Negotiation. I am interested in negotiation strategies, opponent modeling (learning), negotiation domain modelling, and various other aspects of (bilateral) automated negotiation. In particular, I am interested in using qualitative preferences in negotiating agents though my work in this area is still initial. For an overview of related work in our group you should go here.
Agent Programming Languages. I wrote my PhD Thesis Programming with Mental Models about agent languages. Currently, I am working on the GOAL agent programming language.
Logics for Verification. My main interest is in using logics for BDI-like agents for verification purposes, using either a theorem-proving or model-checking approach.

You can find an overview of my publications here.

Teaching

I teach the following courses:

Knowledge Technology, a first-year undergraduate course about agent design (using Prometheus) and knowledge design (using Prolog), together with Birna van Riemsdijk.
Artificial Intelligence Techniques, a fourth-year graduate course about Artificial Intelligence (using the book of Russell and Norvig), together with Catholijn Jonker.
